RandomBlends 2017

Random Blends- the annual Department of Communications and New Media (CNM), National University Singapore showcase. This year the theme Interceptions is a creative forum for radical thinking about the dynamic role new media and communication play in the world today, where digital art and culture fuses with community networks. Devised by the works of students, alumni and faculty members from CNM, the showcase examines the ingenious ways practice-based interceptions have social impact. Interceptions arises from an understanding of how provocative questions, communicated by the critical use of networks, can be raised by play and novel modes of social engagement. Featuring poetry, critical game art, augmented reality performance, data as an artistic medium, sequencing of bacteria in biologically inspired salon simulations, site specific transmissions, networked art forms, and social media activism.
